Since it's accurate, there isn't much you can do about it. If they had lied or if someone else had done it perhaps you might have cause to complain. Next time, pay your bills on time and the car won't be re-poed and you won't end up with a bad credit rating. Actions have consequences.
No you cannot remove a repossession off your credit report if your cosigner has a judgement on the repossession.
Absolutely. Repossession, whether voluntary or involuntary, show on your credit report as a charged off account. This designation is similar to a collection account and shows that you did not repay the vehicle loan. Such a listing in your credit report would have a significant negative impact.
A repossession is a serious negative and will drop your scores.
i need to get a repossession off my credit report
No.
The repossession stays on your credit report for 7 years.
The effect on your credit will depend on how the lender chooses to report it to the credit bureau. Sometimes a lender will be willing to report it 'paid as agreed' or 'settled' entry on the credit report rather than an actual repossession. If it is reported as an actual repossession or foreclosure it will be on your credit for seven years and negatively effect your rating.
You present proof that the repossession never occured. You can dispute it with the credit reporting agency.
YES
A Lot.
It stays on your credit report 7 years from the date of settlement not the date of repossession.
A repossession will significantly lower your credit score, regardless of the balance. It will take around 7 years before the repossession is removed from the credit report.
